This Gorilla Trek and Game Park Safari through Kenya and Uganda or Rwanda is a three week safari geared towards nature and wildlife lovers.
The Gameparks and Gorilla Safari is truly an overland experience through Africa for people who love nature, nightlife and for those who are not afraid of the outdoors. Walk and travel in the footsteps of the legendary Dian Fossey, and meet the gentle human-like creatures made famous by the movie 'Gorillas in the Mist'. This is beyond doubt a remarkable and memorable experience. Travel across Africa from Kenya to Uganda.
As well as interacting with the local people, we go in search of chimpanzee and view the abundant wildlife on safari in the finest game parks in east Africa, culture, customs and more importantly, the gorillas in their natural habitat. Travel on this Gorilla Safari and you may truly be touched for life.
Week 1 Kenya - Uganda, Leaving Nairobi we pass the dramatic landscape of the Rift Valley to the highlands of Kenya. Crossing the border at Malaba we drive through rain forests and tea and sugar plantations to Ugandas capital, Kampala. Crossing the equator we camp on the shores of Lake Bunyonyi. Near here we trek to the famed Mountain Gorillas.
Week 2 Uganda, From the city of Kampala we arrive at Jinja on the shores of Lake Victoria. You can spend an action-filled day white water rafting down the Nile, bungee jump, fish on Lake Victoria. Give up a day of your holiday to volunteer for the local community education project.
Week 3 Kenya. Returning to Kenya and Nakuru Town, we stay at Kembu a working farm. We spend a day at Lake Nakuru, viewing game in a park famous for its soda lake surrounded by thousands, sometimes millions of pink flamingoes. We move on to camp on the shores of Lake Naivasha where hippos often come to graze in the evenings. Close by is Hell's Gate National Park and Elsamere, once the home of Joy Adamson and Elsa the lion of 'Born Free' fame.
